live from fqc&";net 5:05pm 9/3/2005  

V's overheating a bit today (temperatures here have been averaging 90 degrees), so we've cut short the sightseeing on our last day in Paris after visiting the beautiful gothic church Saint-Chapelle and are back in an internet café. This one doesn't have the luxury of English keyboards so i'm having a right old time with this French one. Do they really use so many semicolons that it gets priority over the period (for which you need to press shift)?

I'm cutting this short to avoid any further typing headaches ... Montmartre and Sacré-Coeur were beautiful, although a bit too inundated with various types of panhandlers. We were sketched by two artists near the church, only to be told the drawings would cost 50 €. We settled on 18 €, although Veronica was still peeved at that price. In the evening we headed back to the Champs-Elysées for dinner, but were unable to squeeze in a movie as well. We took a walk down to see the obelisk in the Place de la Concorde before hopping in a taxi and heading home.

Signing off ... damn keyboard ...
